The GentleWave Procedure is a modern-day root canal procedure that uses multi-sonic energy to clean and disinfect the hard-to-reach places of the root canal. Unlike a traditional root canal procedure, the GentleWave Procedure is minimally invasive which helps preserve your natural tooth structure.
The doctor will apply a GentleWave Procedure instrument to your tooth and use a mix of advanced fluid dynamics and multi-sonic energy to break up and lift the infection from your tooth. Once the inside of your tooth is clean, the doctor will fill your roots to ensure no re-infection occurs. Then your dentist will complete a restoration of your tooth with a crown.

Endodontic regeneration uses the concept of tissue engineering to restore the root canals to a healthy state, allowing for continued development of the root and surrounding tissue. This procedure is often completed on infected permanent teeth that have not fully developed. Treatment is completed to allow the tooth to mature with fully developed roots to increase the strength and durability of the tooth.
I’d rather eat dirt than have another root canal. That said, if one were necessary, I would go IMMEDIATELY to Dr. Chung, she was overflowing with competence and confidence, and was cordial and personable. All the ladies in the office treated us as if we were family. I’d go back there in a minute!
Root canals are never any fun of course, but Dr. Chung was truly amazing. She was so attentive, painless, and careful. But what impressed me most is that she clearly worked intently enough to get me through the process as fast as possible without compromising quality. The staff there is pretty amazing too. So if you have to get endo work done, this is the place for it!
Great office, staff and talented Dentists. Took care me so well and fast. Even had a menu of goodies to make me feel better to pick from during my procedure and after. Dr. Chung and Tiffany her assistant were the best.
I wish there were ten stars to give! What an incredible place! Fantastic facility with high-tech imaging equipment. I came in with a tooth that had already had two root canals. Dr. Chung was able to assess the situation and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The staff was incredible, kind and so helpful. When you're in pain, kindness is currency. And they have that in spades. Don't go anywhere else.
I cannot think that one could have a better dental experience…except for not having to go (LOL!) than the one I had at Five Cities Endo! Dr. Chung was simply amazing in every way and the team of assistants equally great! They took a normally stressful situation (needing a root canal) and not only made it virtually pain free (during and after) but were so focused on making me as comfortable as possible that I’m actually writing a positive thumbs up review for dental work. 😀 To say that I highly recommend them is an understatement. Thank you Dr. Chung and the whole Five Cities Endo team!!
